Juan Carlos Navarro Sign Huge Contract in Spain

NBA lose another player because Europe pays more. Some report say he get €15 million net salary from Barcelona for 5 years contract. I figures with exchange rate and no tax this like maybe $38 millions NBA contract. Because NBA one have state and US taxes and also euro is 1.55 dollars.

See all Spurs fans make fun of Splitter this is just way is now like I try explain. Even player like Navarro will get like $38 million contract in Europe now. Is now time where Euroleague pays same or more than NBA so NBA fans must accept this and not keep attack players who stay in Europe.

Couldnt cut it in the NBA.... so go make your money in the slow white guys league.

Smart choice.

He definitely wouldn't have gotten that in the US because he doesn't play well enough to get that kind of a contract. So more power to him. No NBA team would ever pay him that much -- not because they are unable to, but because he's simply not worth it. If this is the kind of player we are permanently losing to Europe, I'm fine with that.

Oh, I wanted him to succeed in the NBA. He had a good rookie season, didn't he?

Such a loss for the NBA. Navarro is a great player, fun to watch.

[mystargtr34]

[DaDakota]

I was hoping the Rockets would try to sign him.....

This Euro vs Dollar thing is going to get ugly.

The offensive black hole is going back home. Did this guy ever met a shot he didn't like?

I wonder when some of the superstars is going to go after cash in europe. Its like football when players go to quatar for big paycheck from some sheik.
